The Happy Sleeper by Heather Turgeon Mft
UPDATED IN 2024Many parents feel pressured to "train" babies and young children to sleep. But kids don't need to be trained to sleep--they're built to sleep. Sleep issues arise when parents (with the best of intentions) over-help or "helicopter parent" at night, overshadowing their baby's innate biological ability to sleep well. In The Happy Sleeper, child sleep experts Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright show parents how to be sensitive and nurturing, but also clear and structured so that babies and little kids develop the self-soothing skills they need to:
- fall asleep independently
- establish a full, 11-12 hour night of sleep
- take regular, healthy naps
- grow into natural, optimal sleep patterns for day and night.
The Happy Sleeper features a foreword by neuropsychiatrist and popular parenting expert Dr. Daniel Siegel, author of Parenting from the Inside Out and the New York Times bestseller Brainstorm.
JULIE WRIGHT has over twenty-five years of experience as a teacher, instructional coach, and educational consultant in rural, suburban, and urban settings. She has both a B.S. and a National Board Certification. a bachelor's degree in education, a master's degree in language arts and reading, a reading endorsement, and substantial post-graduate work in school administration, including a pre-K through grade 9 principal license from The Ohio State University. She has taught graduate courses on curriculum, instruction, and assessment, as well as instructional coaching, as an adjunct faculty member at Ashland University and the University of Wisconsin.
